It seems to me that your complaint is that Rails isn't written in javascript. If I'm understanding correctly, you want javascript on the backend. That's fine, but it's not really a critique of rails. p.s. you don't have to use sprockets if it doesn't fit your needs. Your javascript can live outside of your rails app.
